Sometimes they get messed up going from AutoCAD to importing the stuff into a cam program, so just have to make sure everything is converted to a vector format so it is more universal between applications/programs. I like getting scripted fonts there for vcarving and thicker fonts for relief/2d profiling. Some cam programs can understand it and make toolpaths for them with no problem, but some won't.
Many won't work very well because the vector lines will end up overlapping. I get most of my fonts from, I believe they are almost all free. With single line fonts, I will be able to rout the letter to whatever depth I want and it will only get deeper as to cutter width, not letter width. This makes the letters too wide or it will rout them twice inside, leaving a ridge in the rout. So when I run them, I can only run the inside width of the letter, not depth that I want. I can do the same thing in Enroute with the fonts I have but it brings them in hollow, not single line fonts. Then I can use that exploded text to route. I don't know about KCDw, but I know that I can explode any font in AutoCAD using explode text command located in text menu in express tools. I use Enroute and KCDw on my router and need some fonts for certain projects. I don't want to spend a lot of money for a big program when all I want is a few types of letters for my projects that I rout.

This makes this font ideal where height is limited such as on the body of the DK3 and DK8. The HelveticaULC engraving font is similar to the RomanULC in that the lower case letters look exactly like the upper case but they are only 2/3rd the height. Because the lower case does have descenders this font is not the best choice where height is limited such as on the DK8. It represents upper and lower case letters shaped as you learned in grade school. The RomanMOD font is probably the most recognized font. Works well as all upper case or as mixed case The lower case looks just like the upper case but they are only 2/3rds the height. This is because the lower case letters do not have descenders.
